Abstract

A tilting and sliding mobile device. The tilting and sliding mobile device comprises a first module, a second module, and a connecting module. The first module comprises a display device. The second module is slidably connected to the first module at an adjustable angle. The connecting module, with one end connecting to the first module and another end connecting to the second module, comprises a tilting component and a sliding component. The tilting component is tiltably connected to the sliding component at an angle, which is adjustable with respect to relative movement of the first and the second module.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A tilting and sliding mobile device, comprising: 
 a first module comprising a display device;    a second module, slidably connected to the first module at an adjustable angle; and    a connecting module with one end connecting to the first module and another end connecting to the second module, comprising a tilting component and a sliding component, wherein the tilting component is tiltably connected to the sliding component at an angle, adjustable with respect to relative movement of the first and the second module.    
   
   
       2 . The tilting and sliding mobile device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein when the first module slides on the second module, the tilting component and the sliding component form an angle between 0 and 90°.  
   
   
       3 . The tilting and sliding mobile device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first module further comprises a first cover, a second cover, and a first keypad; wherein the first cover is connected to the second cover, and the second cover is connected to the tilting component of the connecting module; and the first keypad penetrates the first cover.  
   
   
       4 . The tilting and sliding mobile device as claimed in  claim 3 , further comprising a flexible printed circuit board for transmitting signals, penetrating the connecting module and electrically connecting the first module and the second module.  
   
   
       5 . The tilting and sliding mobile device as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the second cover comprises a slot, through which the flexible printed circuit board penetrates.  
   
   
       6 . The tilting and sliding mobile device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the first keypad comprises a plurality of function keys.  
   
   
       7 . The tilting and sliding mobile device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the second cover comprises two holes, and the tilting component comprises two hook portions passing through the holes to connect the first module, the second module, and the connecting module.  
   
   
       8 . The tilting and sliding mobile device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second module comprises a third cover, a fourth cover, a circuit board, and a second keypad; wherein the third cover is connected to the fourth cover and slidably connected to the sliding component; and the second keypad and the circuit board are disposed between the third cover and the fourth cover.  
   
   
       9 . The tilting and sliding mobile device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the third cover comprises a pair of first tracks, disposed in the vicinity of the second keypad, and a pair of second tracks, with width greater than the first tracks, disposed in the vicinity of the bottom of the display device and connected to the first tracks; the sliding component is clamped and slidable on the first tracks and the second tracks; and when the sliding component slides from the first tracks to the second tracks, the tilting component tilts up.  
   
   
       10 . The tilting and sliding mobile device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the sliding component comprises a pair of sliding portions, slidably disposed on the first tracks and the second tracks, respectively; and the tilting component comprises a pair of lift portions, slidably disposed on the first tracks and the second tracks, respectively.  
   
   
       11 . The tilting and sliding mobile device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the depth of each lift portion decreases from the second keypad toward the display device.  
   
   
       12 . The tilting and sliding mobile device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein each lift portion comprises an inclined side forming an inclined angle with a horizon, and a flange, engaged with the first tracks and the second tracks; wherein when the inclined side moves along the first tracks, the inclined angle thereof determines the angle between the first module and the second module.  
   
   
       13 . The tilting and sliding mobile device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the third cover further comprises a first positioning element, disposed in a first position and a second positioning element, disposed in a second position; and the connecting module is movable on the third cover between the first position and the second position.  
   
   
       14 . The tilting and sliding mobile device as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the sliding component of the connecting module further comprises a third positioning element; wherein when the third positioning element engages with the first positioning element of the third cover, the tilting component is compressed downward and pushed against the sliding component such that the first module closes on the second module and is parallel thereto; and when the third positioning element engages with the second positioning element, the first module slides to the second position and the second keypad of the second module is revealed.  
   
   
       15 . The tilting and sliding mobile device as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the first positioning element and the second positioning element comprise at least one protrusion, and the third positioning element comprises at least one opening; and the protrusion engages with the opening for positioning.  
   
   
       16 . The tilting and sliding mobile device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the second keypad comprises a plurality of number keys and a plurality of character keys.  
   
   
       17 . The tilting and sliding mobile device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connecting module further comprises an elastic member, one end connected to the tilting component and another end connected to the sliding component such that the adjustable angle formed between the tilting component and the sliding component is adjusted by elasticity of the elastic member.
